Ellison said he “agreed” that Farrakhan is a bigot, but argued Tapper was going to a “false equivalency.” Clearly, the Democrat was planning on bashing Trump, not defending himself for supporting bigotry.

When Ellison attempted to downplay his association with Farrakhan, Tapper pounced with a live fact-check.

“You were a follower of Farrakhan’s, sir,” Tapper said.

“That’s not true, Jake,” Ellison responded.

Make no mistake, despite Ellison's denials, the Democrat has undeniable ties to the anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

At the end of the segment, Tapper then correctly noted that even the Washington Post gave him “Four Pinocchios” for claiming he had no relationship with Farrakhan. The fact made Ellison even more uncomfortable.
